Tear's

Tear's
builds up and rolls
down my cheek's-
I don’t understand
they mutter and
then withdraw-

Again the tears
approached- 
I didn’t know what to do
my heart became as still 
as the unmoved in the 
midst of lonliness-
so they whispered away
and seeped into my heart
with the burning patience-

I stayed alone-gathering my
thoughts-shaking-unable 
to respond to what they 
were telling me-
I listened to the sadness 
spreading itself and the
mysterious cry of love unknown-

In the fading night
only a single tear remained
staining my cheek-
changing into a wound
that marks my grieving life.california Blue
